Vintage Beads

Vintage beads are an elegant way to make a powerful style statement. You can find vintage beads in all sizes and colors, in multi-strand necklaces and on chandelier earrings. You can even re-string them to better suit your personal taste, for truly unique pieces.Vintage glass beads were popular in the Victorian era, as well as in the 1920s and 1930s. We have all seen pictures of flappers with their short, straight dresses and their wildly swinging loops of bright beads. These necklaces were often the focal point of the entire ensemble, so they needed to be bold and alluring.A vintage bead necklace is one of the easiest ways to wear vintage bead jewelry. A long retro necklace can be looped and looped again to make a more modest three-strand piece, or it can be knotted and worn with a two-piece sweater set for visual interest. Earrings made of vintage beads can add interest to the most conservative outfit without compromising the formality of, say, a business suit or a woolen dress. If you really want to experiment, a long vintage bead necklace can be worn around the waist as a loose, hipster belt! Vintage Swarovski beads are made of quality Swarovski crystal.
